The Little Landlord of Transmigration

Chapter 40 4. Doubt

Because he promised to go to the fourth uncle's house the next day, Xu Lingyuan really wanted to clarify the doubts in his heart, and wanted to know more about the situation of the fourth uncle's house, otherwise, what if he said something wrong when he got there tomorrow Words are always inappropriate.

But after thinking about it, the only person in the family who can ask him is his younger brother Xu Siyuan.Although Xu Lingyuan didn't have much hope for getting satisfactory information from him, but before falling asleep, Xu Lingyuan couldn't help asking.

Sure enough, as he thought, Xu Siyuan didn't seem to know the situation of his fourth uncle's family very well, but seeing Xu Lingyuan seemed to be very concerned, and this was the first time that his well-informed elder brother asked him for help. So he still tried his best to think for a while, and said everything he could think of, but he didn't expect that there would be some valuable information.

According to Xu Lingyuan, the fourth uncle's family originally managed the porcelain shop together with the younger aunt's family, but one day last spring, the younger aunt suddenly ran to the house and cried to Xu's father and Xu mother, roughly saying that the fourth uncle The fourth aunt relied on being older than her to instigate them in various ways, but in the end they did all the work, but the credit was divided equally between the fourth uncle and the others. The younger uncle's waist was exhausted and no one cared.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Xu Lingyuan asked noncommittally.Thinking of the little uncle I met on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, with a flattering smile and fat body, I don’t know if he judges people by appearance, but no matter how he looks at him, he can’t be associated with hard work and hard work, so Xu Lingyuan Can't help but become more puzzled.

"Later? I don't know. I just listened to it for a while, and the nanny took me out, and I didn't hear her mention it again." Xu Siyuan shook his head and said, "But then I also saw my fourth uncle come to look for my father, but I don't know what they said. I haven't been to my uncle's house since then, and my aunt and the others rarely mention them."

"Oh, it's okay, go to sleep." While thinking in his mind, Xu Lingyuan patted Xu Siyuan, signaling him to go to bed quickly.

"Brother asked because he was a little scared? Although I seldom see my fourth uncle, and he is not as talkative as my aunt and the others, but he treats people very well. Didn't they let my brother go? I shouldn't embarrass my brother." That's right." Seeing Xu Lingyuan's pensive look, Xu Siyuan comforted him, then sighed as if he was a little embarrassed and said: "But I have to go to the academy tomorrow, so I can't go with my elder brother."

"I'm a big kid, why did you see that I was scared? Although they are elders, they are not monsters, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Seeing that he was thinking of himself so much, Xu Lingyuan smiled and said with a touch of emotion. , "I just haven't been to their house for a long time, I'm just a little nervous."

"Oh, brother hasn't been with us for a long time." Xu Siyuan seemed to accept his explanation and said very understandingly.

"So I'm going to make it up now, just like I'm finding more and more now, Siyuan, you are really a smart and cute kid." Xu Lingyuan tried to change the subject.

"Well, I also found that you have changed more and more, brother." Xu Siyuan was a little embarrassed at first, but it was not so awkward when faced with Xu Lingyuan's praise from time to time, so he continued, "But brother is It's getting better and better, although the older brother in the past was very majestic, but I still like the older brother now." After all, he was a child, so he felt that Xu Lingyuan would not be angry with him, so he said whatever he wanted.

"Then you don't like the old me?" Xu Lingyuan asked pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Of course not. No matter what, the big brother will always be the big brother. The big brother who didn't talk much before made people respect, but now the big brother who likes to talk makes people feel close." Xu Siyuan was afraid that he would be really sad, so he quickly explained.

"But I still prefer the feeling of being respected." Seeing his serious appearance, Xu Lingyuan continued to tease him.

"No, I like a big brother who can talk to me." Xu Siyuan retorted anxiously, as if Xu Lingyuan would change back at once.

"Then I still don't like the old one." Xu Lingyuan pretended to understand and nodded, and continued to look at him anxiously.

"I didn't say that, it's just that the older brother didn't like to talk to me." Xu Siyuan suddenly said a little aggrieved, "My mother and aunt told me that my elder brother doesn't like others to bother you, so he won't let me bother you. But there are also brothers in the academy who are all studying, and although some of them don't like to talk, they all take a carriage when they go back, but you never go with me, big brother."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong before. I won't ignore you in the future." Seeing the child's aggrieved look, Xu Lingyuan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted for a while, and he didn't care about teasing him anymore, so he quickly comforted him.

"I can't blame big brother. I was afraid that big brother would ignore me, so I didn't dare to talk to you." The child said very clearly, "but now that big brother has improved, he can no longer go to the academy with me. It is." His tone was full of regret.

"I can't accompany you anymore, so how about picking you up when you come back?" Xu Lingyuan said impatiently.He himself also felt a little strange, unknowingly, their relationship became more and more harmonious, as if the previous estrangement never existed.

"Really? Let's forget it. I have someone to pick it up. It's not good to bother big brother like this. Mother will tell me when she finds out." He first asked in surprise, and then refused with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'm free at home anyway." Seeing that he was obviously very excited, Xu Lingyuan persuaded him.

"Let's forget it, anyway, I'll be able to see my elder brother when I come back." Although he said no, it still gave people a feeling of anticipation.

"Oh, I plan to go tomorrow. Since you don't want to, forget it. I don't really remember the way to the academy." Xu Lingyuan said deliberately.

"Amo and the coachman both know about it." Seeing that Xu Lingyuan really gave up, he quickly reminded.

"Okay, then I will go with them tomorrow." Xu Lingyuan said as he wished.

"Really?" He confirmed with some disbelief.

"Really, go to sleep now." Xu Lingyuan assured him earnestly.

After Xu Siyuan closed his eyes and went to sleep, although he was indeed a little tired, Xu Lingyuan didn't feel much sleepy. He was still thinking about what happened during the day: forget about those two classmates, anyway, he is unlikely to see them again; But what about the jade pendant?Forget it, maybe it has already been sold, so I should find another one, but I am really reluctant; according to what Xu Siyuan said, and the fact that the fourth uncle has separated from the little aunt, there should be some feelings between them. Unpleasant, but what does this have to do with me, just do what you should do...

When Xu Lingyuan was thinking wildly, Xu Siyuan suddenly moved a few times, obviously not asleep yet.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Xu Lingyuan put away his thoughts and asked.

"I'm sleeping, but I haven't fallen asleep yet." He said innocently.

"Then what should I do? Should the nanny come in to coax you?" Xu Lingyuan joked.

"No, the nanny can only tell ghost stories, which are meaningless." He protested strongly, and then asked with some expectation: "Can big brother tell stories?" He usually tells many interesting stories to him.

"...Then let me tell you something casually. You have to go to bed quickly." Xu Lingyuan, who couldn't bear to refuse, said helplessly.

"Yeah." He agreed very cooperatively.

"..."

"...If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't tell it. If you keep asking, it will be dawn." The story was finished soon, but after listening to the story, Xu Siyuan not only did not fall asleep, but also asked excitedly. Xu Lingyuan, who agreed to him, regretted all kinds of problems.Although they went to bed very early, if they kept asking this question, their sleep would really be impossible to guarantee.

"Oh." The other party replied obviously regretfully.

"If you can't sleep, count it in your heart." Xu Lingyuan said helplessly.

"Why..." The other party obviously didn't understand the relationship between the two.

"Shh, go to sleep." Xu Lingyuan stopped him from speaking, and at the same time stretched out a hand resignedly, and patted his back lightly. If it didn't work, he would have to count sheep.

Unexpectedly, it was really effective. Under Xu Lingyuan's infection, the child didn't speak anymore. After Xu Lingyuan subconsciously took back his somewhat heavy hand, both of them finally fell asleep.
